We've seen a wave of new compact sedans derived from earlier hatchback siblings hit the market, but Tata has chosen to reverse the trend. Tata first introduced the Zest sedan a couple of months back and is now gearing up to launch what’s essentially a chopped-boot version of the Zest – the Bolt hatchback.

Design

The Zest sedan was the beginning of a new design language for Tata cars. Not surprisingly, the Bolt follows suit. The face has the new grille that merges with the headlamps which are smoked projector units – a segment first. The Bolt’s front bumpers, lamp assemblies and fine creases give it a bolder, more stunning stance while retaining the Tata ethos. The blacked-out C-pillar gives the Bolt a floating-roof look at the rear. Design elements on the inside are similar to the Zest. What it misses out on though, are the LED daytime-running lights which the Zest sedan gets.
